Angliscised names - FELLMAN, LANDMAN

[JustinL]

I have all those people in my Fellman file, but we do not know there Hebrew/Yiddish names!

I meant, do you have a clear example of someone named after a living person?

It strikes me that Augusta may have been an anglicised form of Gesa-Eida. That would indicate that May and Bessie named daughters after their deceased mother.

I looked into the sequence of naming for my great-grandfather and his 8 siblings. A clear pattern can be seen. I'll draw up a table or something similar to explain it to you.

yes justin they did
american cousins information supplements ours
thanks for the offer of a table
i cant look at much at moment can i give you their emails when i have their permission im sure theyd like to thank you
geis eida = Augustus Edith ..and they have photos of some of the sibl;ings and descendents  i have copiedpics to my ancestry tree which is open >

russian neighbours call me Babushka B ..they were going to help me prepare time travel detective treasure hunt but i have to go back to docs for an eye check reassurance

they are forgetting their Russian but have taught me a few words and I think the eldest can read Russian so I'll ask if any of those documents

Coming full circle
Had a laugh today with some amusing spellings .

On Samuel Lazurus Fellman American naturalisation document he is named as Samuel Loser Fellman

His daughter Gertrude who may have been baptised in Manchester as Golde
Was apparently known as Goldie in later years...unfortunately on her husbands naturalisation document she is named Oldie

More developments ...i have flound
DNA links to lithuanian and belarus possibilities and have been able to add a few generstons on Samuel (leizer.mendal) side

Think his mother was Sorre Rubin

Am.matching with Rubin.family from lithuania
with first names Yankel girsh David rivka .

That could be where our Rebecca and David names come from .

Was Is it common for people to name a child after a previously deceased.one

I think Jane Seina Landsman and samuel may have 2 girls called Taube
One buried in manchester the other 1 became gertrude...oldy-goldy   which would explain some of the age discrepencies as i had dob of 1st Taube/goldy

Ps A lot of dna matches dont show up because some posters put hebrew names others dont or have different spellings ..when i used Yankel instead of jankel i found more matches

I will summarize findings so far
